Heavy rains lash parts of Punjab, Haryana

Chandigarh: Heavy rains on Saturday lashed many parts of Punjab and Haryana, causing mercury to fall between two and eight degrees below normal.

Chandigarh, the joint capital of the two neighbouring states, was also lashed by heavy downpour. The low-lying areas in the city were flooded after the monsoon showers, which also brought down the day temperature.
